David Noel Freedman, 1922-2008

I remember very well when I was still an undergraduate and Doug Gropp loaned me his copy of Freedman and Cross’ Early Hebrew Orthography: A Study of the Epigraphic Evidence. His work will continue to form the foundation of so much and serve as an inspiration to so many.

May light perpetual shine upon him.

Sad News: The Death of David Noel Freedman
